“#Florida’s Johnson leaves hospital 10 days after collapse<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

GAINESVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Florida forward Keyontae Johnson is being released from the hospital Tuesday, 10 days after collapsing on the court at Florida State and needing emergency medical attention.<\/p>\n

The school released a statement from his family saying, \u201cWe continue to be amazed at the pace of his recovery and look forward to spending Christmas together as a family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The family added that it will share \u201cany information we think could help others\u201d regarding the cause and extent of Johnson\u2019s illness.<\/p>\n

Kentucky\u2019s John Calipari is one of many coaches in college basketball who have said they would like to know if Johnson\u2019s collapse was related to his positive COVID-19 test months earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs much as everyone involved wants firm answers, the process to draw definitive conclusions continues, and we ask for patience as the medical professionals continue their work,\u201d the family said.<\/p>\n

Johnson crumpled to the floor coming out of a timeout on Dec. 12. He was moved to a stretcher and carried to a waiting ambulance as teammates, coaches, staff, fans and others watched in disbelief.<\/p>\n

ESPN declined to show video of the incident. Witnesses said Johnson was standing near midcourt and suddenly fell forward and landed on his face.<\/p>\n

He spent two nights at Tallahassee Memorial before being transferred to Gainesville via helicopter with his mother by his side.<\/p>\n

Like many of his Florida teammates, Johnson tested positive for COVID-19 during the summer. Although the cause of Johnson\u2019s collapse has not been revealed, the coronavirus can lead to myocarditis, a viral infection of the heart muscle. At its most severe, myocarditis can lead to sudden cardiac arrest and has been a documented cause of death for young, otherwise healthy athletes.<\/p>\n

The SEC mandates strict protocols, including rigorous heart testing, before players can be cleared to return to play following positive COVID-19 tests.<\/p>\n

Florida has postponed four basketball game<\/a>s since Johnson\u2019s collapse. The team is next scheduled to next play on Dec. 30 at Vanderbilt in the SEC opener for both schools.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
